Laravel Routing

2. Base Routing
Route::get('/users', function () {
//
});
Route::post('/user', function () {
//
});
Route::put('/user', function () {
//
});
Route::delete('/user', function () {
//
});
Route::match(['get', 'post'], '/user', function () {
//
});
Route::any('/user', function () {
//
});

3. Route Parameters
Required Parameters
Route::get('/hello/{username}', function ($username) {
return 'Hello, ' . $username . '!';
});
Optional Parameters
Route::get('/hello/{username?}', function ($username = null) {
if (null === $username) {
return 'Hello, everybody!';
} else {
return 'Hello, ' . $username . '!';
}
});
______________________________________________________________________
Note: Route parameters cannot contain the '-' character. Use an underscore (_) instead.

4. Route Filters
Route::get('/hi/{username}', function ($username) {
return 'Hello, ' . $username . '!';
})
->where('username', '[A-Za-z]+');
Route::get('/hi/{id}', function ($id) {
return 'Hello, user with ID ' . $id . '!';
})
->where('id', '[0-9]+');
Route::get('user/{name}/{age}', function ($name, $age) {
//
})
->where(['name' => '[a-z]+', 'age' => '[0-9]+',]);

5. Named Routes
Route::get('user/{id}/profile/name/edit', function ($id) {
//
});
url('user/1/profile/name/edit');
Route::get('user/{id}/profile/name/edit', ['as' => 'editname', function ($id) {
//
}]);
route('editname', array(1))

6. Actions, Middlewares
Actions:
Route::get('/user', ['uses' => 'UserController@show']);
Middlewares:
Route::get('/user', ['middleware' => 'auth', function () {
// Uses Auth Middleware
}]);
Route::get('/profile', ['middleware' => 'auth', 'uses' => 'UserController@getProfile']);

7. Route Groups
Prefix
Route::group(['prefix' => 'user/{id}'], 'where' => ['id' => '[0-9]+'], function()
{
Route::get('profile', function($id)
{
// URL: "/user/1/profile"
});
});
Domain
Route::group(['domain' => '{section}.google.com'], function()
{
Route::get('list/', function($section)
{
// docs.google.com/list
});
});
Namespaces
Route::group(['namespace' => 'Admin'], function()
{
Route::group(['namespace' => 'User'], function()
{
// Controllers in namespace "AppHttpControllersAdminUser"
});
});
Middlewares:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], functtion() {}]);

8. Route Model Binding
Route::get('/api/user/{user}', function($user) {
return AppUser::findOrFail($user);
});
Route::get('/user/{user}', function(AppUser $user) {
return $user; // json of object(AppUser)
});
Route::model('user', 'AppUser');
Route::bind('user', function($value)
{
return AppUser::find($value);
//return AppUser::where('username', $value)->first();
});

9. API rate limiting
Route::get('/api/search/{term}', function($term) {
return [
'results' => $term
];
});
Route::get('/api/search/{term}', function($term) {
return [
'results' => $term
];
})->middleware('throttle:60'); // 60 requests per minute

10. RouteServiceProvider
public function boot(Router $router)
{
parent::boot($router);
$router->model('user', 'AppUser');
}
...
public function map(Router $router)
{
$router->group(['namespace' => $this->namespace], function ($router) {
require app_path('Http/routes.php');
});
$router->get('profile/{contactid}', function($contactId) {
return $contactId;
});
}
